Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

As for Kiana, because the transmission of many things in the future is rather vague, she doesn't really remember why she was wandering alone in an unfamiliar city, or why she got so involved with Cheng Xing. But the fact that she didn't help him in his time of need really hurt her.

At this moment, a figure inexplicably appeared in her heart, though it was not obvious, it was there nonetheless.

A few days later, Mei's daily care and companionship dispelled Kiana's negative emotions, and she began to revert to being the carefree, thoughtless paramecium who had given up thinking.

After seeing Kiana return to her former appearance, Bronya nodded and then shook her head.

I nodded because it's a good thing that my friend has recovered.

Shaking my head was a sign of helplessness at her easy choice to forget.

This also means that Kiana will forever be inferior to Bronya in the future.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Companionship

"Mmm! Mei, your cooking is the best I've ever had! Nobody can cook better than you! I love Mei the most!"

Kiana! What are you saying?!

To cheer Kiana up, Mei took her to the grass outside and fed her her own cooking.

Bronya sat on a bench, watching Kiana and Mei interacting on the grass not far away. Her face was expressionless, and she didn't go over to eat Mei's cooking. She just munched on an old-fashioned compressed biscuit.

These cookies are dry, bland, and not tasty, but they have a significance that is more important than their flavor.

Are you reminiscing?

A familiar voice came from behind.

Bronya froze, then turned around and saw the guy leaning back on the bench, smiling at her.

Why are you here?

Bronya swallowed the biscuit and asked.

"I think we should talk about what happened before in person."

Cheng Xing sat down on the bench, picked up his soft girlfriend and placed her on his lap, then took out several lunch boxes from his backpack.

"I don't think you want me to have a harem. No lover wants to share their lover with others. The reason you pretend not to care is because of what happened before, and you feel guilty."

Bronya pressed her face against Cheng Xing's chest and said, "Yes, so why don't you just pretend you didn't find out?"

"not good."

Cheng Xing held Bronya in his arms, rested his chin on her head, and said softly, "I don't want you to force yourself. Both people in love have to take responsibility for each other's lives. Love is never about possession, nor is it about dramatic life-or-death struggles. It's about tolerance and responsibility."

"Now that we are in love, I must take responsibility, Bronya. If you don't want me to have a harem and want to have me all to yourself, then I will give up time..."

Cheng Xing's words were cut off by a small, fair hand. Bronya looked into Cheng Xing's eyes with her light gray eyes, her expression no longer the blank and emotionless one she usually was, but rather the playfulness and cuteness that one should have at this age.

"No need to say anything more, I'm hungry."

Cheng Xing nodded, opened the lunchbox placed to the side to reveal the dishes inside, and said with a smile, "These are some dishes from your hometown that I found online."

Inside is a hamburger patty, with a crispy outer crust and tender, delicious meat filling. It's a traditional Russian home-style dish, available in various flavors, with the chicken flavor being particularly popular, especially the famous Kiev fried chicken (котлетапо-киевски).

Bronya smiled and said, "Thank you."

Do you want me to feed you?

"it is good."

After adjusting Bronya's posture, Cheng Xing took out a piece of cloth and tied it around Bronya's neck as a napkin to prevent food grease from dripping onto her clothes.

Then, he took out his chopsticks, cut the hamburger steak in half, picked up the piece and placed it in front of Bronya. Bronya opened her mouth and the steak went into her mouth.

Cheng Xing looked at Bronya nervously and asked worriedly, "Is it okay? This is my first time cooking foreign food. If it's not good, please tell me so I can correct it."

Bronya couldn't help but laugh when she heard Cheng Xing's nervous tone.

What are you laughing at?

"Your tone just now was exactly the same as when Kiana was having her homework checked by Himeko-sensei."

"Oh, you're so nervous. You haven't told us how it tastes yet."

"...It's delicious, even better than what we had at the orphanage."

"Phew! That's good."

The two figures were bright and warm under the sunlight. Cheng Xing was focused on feeding Bronya, his smile full of satisfaction, and his movements were very gentle.

Bronya enjoyed Cheng Xing's service throughout, eating delicious hometown dishes and drinking familiar soup. When his mouth got a little greasy, Cheng Xing would immediately take out a tissue to wipe it.

And most importantly, that familiar, incredibly warm chest.

After finishing the meal, Bronya leaned against Cheng Xing's chest, and Cheng Xing gently patted Bronya's back while softly humming a lullaby.

Bronya felt as if she had returned to Siberia that year, with a terrifying blizzard sweeping outside, but it was not scary at all, because he was there.

Bronya was asleep. Looking at her innocent, baby-like sleeping face, Cheng Xing remained motionless, afraid that the slightest movement would wake the girl in his arms.

Bronya, I love you.

Cheng Xing said in a low voice.

The sleeping girl didn't hear it.

Mei suddenly raised her head and looked at the empty bench not far away, with only a black raven perched on it, staring at her with its unsettling scarlet eyes.

"Mei, what's wrong?"

Kiana, standing to the side, followed Mei's gaze, but couldn't see anything.

"Ah!" Mei exclaimed in surprise, then smiled gently and said, "Oh, I'm just a little curious about the crows that have suddenly appeared in the academy. I've never seen them before."

"But I didn't see any crows."

"How could that be? It's right over there..."

Mei turned around, only to find that there was nothing on the bench.

The Forgotten: After use, your existence will be difficult to detect, and any information related to you will be distorted in various forms.

Note: You will be discovered by the person who values ​​you most, while those who have forgotten you will never see you.

When Bronya woke up, it was already dusk. She looked up and saw Cheng Xing, who was also asleep.

She smiled slightly and whispered, "Cheng Xing, I love you."

Cheng Xing heard this and opened his eyes, feigning confusion, and asked, "Did you call me?"

"Well, it's getting dark, I should go back."

Bronya left Cheng Xing's embrace and then floated quietly on the ground.

"I am very happy today."

Cheng Xing looked at Bronya's mechanical legs with pity in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Bronya, I will help you restore your legs, and I will also help you bring Seele back."

"Well, I believe you."

"Then, goodbye."

"Okay, goodbye."

Cheng Xing transformed into a black raven, circled Bronya a few times, and then soared towards the distant sun, becoming a tiny black dot in an instant before disappearing completely.

Bronya was about to leave when she noticed Cheng Xing's backpack on the bench. She picked it up and opened it.

Inside were all sorts of candies and chocolates, and a hard card with a note on it.

"Don't eat too much, or you'll get cavities!"

Then there's a picture of a scarecrow with its mouth wide open and laughing in the bottom right corner of the card.

Bronya smiled slightly and said softly, "Idiot."

Chapter Thirty-Four: Cooperation

As always, Cheng Xing pushed open the bar door and waved to the raven behind the counter.

"Senior Raven, could I please have a glass of milk? Thank you."

Raven was already completely used to this guy's strange habit of coming to the bar without drinking, so she skillfully took out the milk from the freezer, poured it on him, and handed it to him.

"Ten dollars a cup."

Cheng Xing took out $100 from his pocket and put it on the table. Then he sat down at the bar, drank his milk, and had a silly smile on his face, looking rather dim-witted.

You seem to be in a very good mood today.

Raven looked at this guy who seemed completely out of his mind and asked with some curiosity.

"I spent time with my girlfriend today. She praised the food I made, and we hugged each other until dusk. It was so wonderful! I also left her a gift, which I'm sure she'll be happy to see."

"Okay, I got it. Get rid of that silly smile on your face. It's giving me a headache."

Raven rolled his eyes. No wonder people online always say that love makes people lose their minds; this guy has completely turned into an idiot.

"But I don't know which unlucky guy took a liking to you, you lunatic. A couple of days ago you were acting like you had depression, and now you've completely turned into a complete idiot who just keeps grinning. By the way, Gray Serpent came here before and asked me to pass on a mission to you."

Cheng Xing stopped grinning and looked at Raven, saying, "What? Another mission? Didn't I just finish a mission a week ago? Why are we suddenly back?"

"Isn't this a good thing? The more tasks there are, the more money you can earn. I'm overjoyed, so why are you complaining about the hassle?"

Raven has been saving money to buy his own island and build a villa on it. He still has a long way to go to achieve that goal, but now the organization doesn't have many missions, except for this guy who has a lot of missions because he's new.

The prices for tasks within the organization are much higher than those paid for outside jobs. I really envy this guy.

"Okay, I understand you're short on money, so what mission did Gray Serpent give me this time?"

"This time, we're going to cooperate with Anti-Entropy to complete a retrieval plan from St. Freya Academy... Yes, just what you're thinking of, retrieval of the Third Herrscher, Raiden Mei."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xing's expression turned serious. He frowned and asked doubtfully, "Should we really get involved in this matter? The snake should still be lurking in the shadows. If we get involved, it's very likely that we'll come under the watchful eyes of Destiny. Is that really a good idea?"

"So we're not going to act as the snake, but as you, a completely mysterious and unknown character to outsiders."

"You will go to Cocolia, the executive officer of Anti-Entropy, as a mercenary Scarecrow to assist her in completing her mission... Also, Gray Serpent, I told you not to reveal your identity, saying that you can do it if you want."

"So, do I have to help Cocolia retrieve the Third Herrscher? I think the organization should know about my relationship with her and the conflict between me and Cocolia. Are you sure I won't kill that woman in a fit of anger?"

Cheng Xing spoke in a very cold tone. You see, there was still Vayte, who liked to stir up trouble everywhere, on this mission. If that guy kept provoking him, given his current abilities, he wouldn't tolerate a clone.
